review 1: I love this collection of Weird Old West stories! It contains a full diversity of spec-fic forms and attitudes toward the genre. (I also have a story in this one, about a land surveyor - who is also a reluctant gunfighter - working on Mars who gets drawn into larger and less-pleasant events that will shape the future of the pioneer world. It's set in about 1900 on Percival Lowell's Mars after H.G. Wells' Martian invasion of England.) If you like the Old West, alternate history, and the supernatural, you should LOVE this book - and, I hope, my story, too!
review 2: There is no shortage of imagination here. Clearly, the Western genre is far more versatile than some give it credit for. The standout tales for me were "Surveyor of Mars" by Christopher McKitterick, a... moren interesting followup to War of the Worlds; "Coyote, Spider, Bat" by Steven Saus, if you're a mythology buff; "The Clockwork Cowboy" by J. Steven York, robots!; and "Black Train" by Jeff Mariotte, a new take on a living dead story. less
